Start Right and build a great relationship with your dog
Teach him to control himself! Teach her to control herself!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a dog that seemed to think 'if I'm good, maybe you'll give me what I want'? THAT is the goal of this level.
We teach you, not just your dog. You and your dog will learn to establish a system of lifelong communication.
Start Right lessons may be taken in a linear fashion (same day and time for six weeks) or in a flexible modular fashion where you pick the days and times that work for your schedule.
Your Start Right Course includes:
- Orientation session to give you the right start to teach your dog PLUS
- 45 minute private lesson PLUS
- Attend 6 weeks Start Right lessons, taking as many lessons as you can each week (subject to availability)
And, if all you can fit into your busy life is that one time a week, that's fine too! Whatever works for you.
No waiting for the next class to start - just pick an orientation or lesson that fits your schedule.
